While again, The Young and the Restless’ Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is my favorite character in daytime for a number of reasons (but kudos to Beyond the Gates for debuting a new character I’m already very intrigued by), even I can admit that Victor sometimes makes it hard for his fans to defend his actions.
Recently, his relentless and renewed feud with Jack (Peter Bergman) and his insistence that Claire (Hayley Erin) stay away from Kyle (Michael Mealor) are both starting to seem like a bit much. What began as payback for Jack’s Athletic Club bender with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), has become a never-ending quest for him. Over the years, I’ve loved when the two patriarchs clashed, but this latest go-around seems like overkill as Jack isn’t even invested in fighting with him.
